New comparison test by Automobile. Not entirely surprised at the conclusion either but well worth a read.

The New Rivalry: 2016 Mercedes-AMG GT S vs 2015 Porsche 911 GTS

Good read. I'm undecided on the Merc. I need to see it in person.

I can't decide either. Which is uglier, the exterior, or the interior?

AMG GT S interior has way too much bling. Plus the iPad like screen looks terrible. I can't for the life of me, understand why BMW and MB seem to think a huge screen sticking out the top of the dash looks attractive. The outside of the AMG looks gorgeous, but it looks more like an old man's GT car than a real drivers car.

When I see the cars in the same picture, I truly believe the 911 looks better.

I not only truly believe, it's a fact!

911 hands down!

I'll never be old enough to own a Mercedes.

There is only one winner and it begins with P....

After reading the article, you can just tell that the AMG does not have the soul and connection to the driver the 911 has.

I think the 991 is pretty wide for a sports car already. Add 3ish inches to get the Mercedes width, too wide. C'mon manufacturers we don't need bigger cars! Plus they copied the 991 rear lights.

GT interior is designed to appeal to third world populations who were still riding bicycles just 20 years ago to go with their unclear on the concept 1980s -cool gold Rolexes

Every manufacturer that makes "sports cars" other than Porsche makes cars that are too heavy. I'm not quite sure how Porsche keeps the 911 (non 4/Cab) and Cayman/Boxster close to 3000 lbs and still meets safety standards but I love it. It seems like everyone else starts at 3400 lbs.

Oh boy.....
"but it’s more difficult to excuse the absence of a true multi-function steering wheel and driver assistance systems such as blind-spot monitoring and lane-departure warning."

Is this a joke?? Get me a Chris Harris review ASAP please. MF steering wheel,,,wow....
Ah, and btw, since these are press cars, i would bet a couple bucks we're actually looking at a Carmine Red GTS, not GuardsRed.
My OCD, sorry!

Anyway, the 911 is the nicer car, much better overall package (2+2), etc. Too bad we're all going turbo...we'll loose that 7800rpm and screaming sound. Clearly dont need these turbos as other "newer" comps have 'em and yet the 991 still competes and wins...(991 GT3 vs MP4, this 991GTS vs AMG GT, ferrari going all V8 turbo, BMW M....arrrrrhhhh, dont even want to go there....)

But i like the AMG sound! 6.3 cars (especially the C63 507) will stay as all time good soundtracks. I'll wait to hear the new 4.0TT sound to judge and perhaps before changing my name to "991GT3_screamer" !

The Merc's specs look very good, but I can't get beyond the long front end and busy interior. I have never been a fan of that look.

The AMG looks fantastic and is a temping package, except....... That it is built by Mercedes. I will never buy another Mercedes after the issues I had with my C63. I had it 4 months and 3 weeks of that ownership were spent in the dealers workshop.

Mercedes are an appalling company who have no idea how to look after customers. So it's a no from me.......
